A practitioner in China was detained repeatedly for practicing Falun Dafa. While in detention he shared his experience as a practitioner with inmates and guards, he became known as “Falun Gong.” He encouraged the inmates to recite “Falun Dafa is good” when confronting challenges and many overcame serious hardships, including having a death sentence commuted, coming out of a coma, and diabetes. This and other experience-sharing from the Minghui website.Original Articles:1. [Celebrating World Falun Dafa Day] Falun Dafa Offers Hope to Death Row Inmates2.

Paul Skalnik was a cop turned con artist turned jailhouse informant. Over two decades, he provided testimony or information in more than 40 criminal cases, trading confessions he claimed to have overheard for reduced sentences and early release. Prosecutors in Florida's Pinellas County knew what he was. They used him anyway. Four of the men he testified against were sent to death row. At least one of them, Jim Dailey, is almost certainly innocent — and after more than 30 years, he's still there.Journalist Pam Colloff spent 20 years at Texas Monthly before joining ProPublica and the New York Times Magazine, where her investigation into Skalnik won the National Magazine Award and helped halt an execution. In this episode, Pam tells the story of a con man who married nine women, posed as an oilman, a lawyer, and an FBI agent — and discovered that his most profitable scam was the criminal justice system itself.Pam Colloff's new book is "Catch the Devil: A True Story of Murder, Deception, and Injustice on the Gulf Coast" https://www.amazon.com/dp/0593230868?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallbackSubscribe to our newsletter: https://jedlipinski.substack.com/ Connect with Jed Lipinski:https://www.instagram.com/gonesouthpodcast/https://www.facebook.com/groups/gonesouthpodcast/https://www.linkedin.com/in/jed-lipinski/

I recruited Bentley to answer some "boyfriend questions," and our conversation ended up in some unexpected places. We discuss our death row meals, where we'd look for each other if we went missing for 24 hours, our stolen catalytic converter, how we're settling into life in our new LA rental, a little relationship check-in, and plenty of other tangents along the way.

In this episode, Gare and I talk with V.A. Vazquez about her dark, twisty thriller The Death Row Club! Listen to hear all about: The deeply personal experience that inspired The Death Row Club. V.A. Vazquez shares how discovering that a beloved high school teacher was secretly a predator sparked the question: What would it be like to be the child of someone capable of horrific crimes? Why writing this novel became an exploration of shame, identity, and inherited judgment. V.A. Vazquez discusses how growing up with two moms in a conservative Catholic school influenced the emotional core of the novel and the idea of being judged for your family rather than your own actions. The surprising publishing journey that intertwined with Ashley Winstead. Vazquez talks about moving to Scotland, writing her first novels while waiting for work authorization, landing in Pitch Wars, and how Ashley Winstead encouraged her to dream much bigger than she ever imagined. How real memoirs from the families of serial killers shaped the book. Instead of consuming true crime entertainment, Vazquez researched memoirs by children and spouses of serial killers to authentically portray grief, loyalty, denial, and trauma. Behind the scenes of building a thriller with an unforgettable cast. Everything from creating detailed outlines and character boards to debating book adaptations and dream casting.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: January, 2022Weird Darkness journeys into haunted prisons, botched executions, secret time-travel technology, and a neighbor's death that seemed to linger after the funeral, spanning true crime, the paranormal, and a firsthand ghost story from a listener.It opens with the ghosts of Death Row, where condemned killers appear to keep terrorizing long after execution. German immigrant Frederick Hollman, one of America's earliest serial killers, was hanged at the Ford County Jail in Paxton, Illinois, on May 14, 1897, after promising to return and rap on the windows of the witnesses and jurors who convicted him — and the jail is now a paranormal hotspot where his face has been photographed glaring into his old cell. Lavinia Fisher and her husband John ran the Six Mile House near Charleston, South Carolina, in the early 1820s, allegedly poisoning and dropping wealthy travelers through a trapdoor before their hanging for highway robbery, and her aggressive spirit is still blamed for choking sensations and foul stenches at the Old Charleston Jail. Raymond Snowden, dubbed Idaho's Jack the Ripper for the 1956 stabbing of Cora Dean, endured a botched twenty-minute hanging at the Old Idaho Penitentiary in Boise in 1957 and reportedly haunts the gallows site alongside inmate Douglas Van Vlack, who leaped to his death from the cell block rafters. Ted Bundy, executed in Florida's electric chair on January 24, 1989, has supposedly been seen grinning atop the chair and telling guards he beat them all, while Willie Lloyd Turner — executed by lethal injection in 1995 after fifteen years and five aborted trips to the chamber — appeared so lifelike after death that inmates mistook him for the living. The segment closes across the Atlantic with executioner John Ellis, who hanged more than a hundred people at Manchester's Strangeways Jail before killing himself in 1932 and is said to still patrol B Wing to keep the prison's other ghosts, including poisoner Mrs. Merrifield, in line.From there the episode moves to Alcatraz, the federal penitentiary that operated on its fog-bound San Francisco Bay island from 1934 to 1963 and earned a reputation as one of America's most haunted sites. The solitary cells of D-Block known as "the hole" are tied to the 1940s strangulation death of a screaming inmate in cell 14D, possibly the work of former occupant Rufus McCain, and visitors report icy fingers and unnatural cold there. The 1946 Battle of Alcatraz left two guards and three escapees dead in a utility corridor where clanging noises still echo, psychic Sylvia Browne sensed murdered hitman Abie "Butcher" Maldowitz in the laundry room, and the catacomb "dungeon" beneath A-Block preserves the screams of prisoners once chained naked to its walls. Al Capone spent part of his 1934 sentence strumming a banjo to hold off insanity, and that banjo music is still reportedly heard in the halls, while "Birdman" Robert Stroud haunts the hospital wing where he was confined among his canary research. The island carried dark associations long before the prison, from Ohlone tribal beliefs that it gathered evil spirits to the Civil War soldiers who died chained in its guardhouse basement, and even the 1969 to 1971 Native American occupation ended in fire and loss before the ghosts reportedly stayed behind.Next the episode turns to a fringe theory that reframes flying saucers as human technology rather than alien craft, arguing that a secretive commercial group used patent-law secrecy to build working time machines in twentieth-century laboratories. The account claims these machines can move an ion through time in both directions, that short-range "trans-burst" devices let a person leap across nearby distances, and that the UFOs people photograph are previews of future mankind rather than extraterrestrial visitors. It ties the idea to Einstein's 1901 work as a patent clerk and to E=mc², and recasts Area 51 as cover not for alien bodies but for a commercial experiment involving four trained monkeys linked to a 1961 interstellar flight.The episode closes with a listener account from Amber Harris, who lived at the end of a cul-de-sac in Williamsburg, Virginia, in a house set down in a ditch so the second floor sat level with the street. After her next-door neighbor died suddenly in his home and his widow moved away, the house sat unsold for months, and one night past midnight the hallway light outside Amber's bedroom switched on without the telltale sound of anyone climbing the loud staircase, casting the shadow of a male figure beneath her door before it went dark. Weeks later her sister woke her by text to watch the dead neighbor's dog standing beneath the orange street light, barking at the empty house before turning its head directly toward the two of them at the window and then vanishing, an image that stayed with the family until a job moved them to Indiana, with the neighbor's house still unsold when they drove past it the following May.
The reason for this re-air is dire: A wrongfully convicted football fan is running out of time — and legal avenues to pursue. When Pablo sat down with Cowboys superfan Charles Flores in January, Flores' legal team was working on a Hail Mary: petitioning the U.S. Supreme Court to review his case — and to consider whether the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals had violated his right to due process. On June 15, that effort failed. Public pressure is all that remains. Which means that the power of Charles' story is more important than ever. As is the urgency to sign the petition to encourage the Dallas County DA to stop his execution.• Sign the petition to stop the execution of Charles Flores• Previously on PTFO: Watching the Dallas Cowboys on Death Row"The Road Goes On Forever" written and performed by Robert Earl Keen, with permissions from Songs of Universal, Inc., and Keen Productions.(Pablo Torre Finds Out is independently produced by Meadowlark Media and distributed by The Athletic.

When the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation opened an investigation and Blanche was charged with the attempted murder, the arrest came as a shock to those who knew her. How was it possible that someone they all knew as “a sweet, Christian lady”—was an attempted murderer?

Nick Reiner sat behind glass and let his public defender enter the plea for him: not guilty to killing his parents. But the real story isn't the plea — it's the documented psychiatric history sitting underneath it, and what it could mean when this case reaches a jury.He was diagnosed with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder. He spent a year under a mental health conservatorship. And roughly a month before his parents were found stabbed in their Brentwood home, his medication was changed. We walk through what those facts could support: a full insanity defense, a diminished-capacity argument aimed at reducing the charge, or a competency challenge that could stall the case for years.This look back examines where the case stood at the time of our reporting — the behavioral and clinical questions the legal system is least equipped to answer. When does serious mental illness change what someone is responsible for? And what do we owe a person who refuses help, versus the people they leave behind?Because there are people left behind. Jake, Romy, and Tracy Reiner lost both parents in a single day and inherited a role with no name — mourner, victim, and family of the accused at once. Sources say they've cut their brother off, and still don't want to see him face the harshest penalty.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

For nearly eighteen years, Damien lived inside a prison cell waiting for the state to execute him.Most people know the story of the West Memphis Three. They know the headlines, the documentaries, the controversy, and the legal battle that ultimately led to Damien's release in 2011.But this isn't just a story about a murder case. It's a story about survival. About finding purpose inside a six-by-nine-foot cell.About holding onto hope when the world has already written your ending. About refusing to let bitterness define your future.While sitting on death row, Damien immersed himself in books, spirituality, meditation, and personal growth. He built a mindset strong enough to survive one of the harshest realities imaginable. And when freedom finally came after nearly two decades behind bars, he faced a challenge many never consider—how do you learn to live after surviving death row?Since his release, Damien has reinvented himself as an artist, speaker, spiritual teacher, and New York Times bestselling author. His memoir, Life After Death, gave readers an intimate look at surviving prison, reclaiming freedom, and rebuilding a life that many thought had been lost forever. Today, he continues to inspire people around the world through his writing, teaching, and advocacy.Now, with his new book, Alchemy of the Blade, arriving this September, Damien is continuing his exploration of transformation, resilience, and the extraordinary power of the human spirit.Today, Damien Echols joins us to talk about life on death row, freedom after prison, the lessons that kept him alive, and what happens when your worst nightmare becomes the foundation for a remarkable second act.Show sponsors: Navigating the challenges of white-collar crime?

Juan Catalan was facing the death penalty for a murder he didn't commit. There was one man he thought could save him: US comedian Larry David. On 12 May 2003, Juan attended a baseball game that he would later say saved his life. It was his local team, the LA Dodgers, versus the Atlanta Braves. The game was exciting, but unremarkable for Juan – apart from a television crew that was filming in his section.Three months later, Juan arrived at work only to be surrounded by undercover police and arrested in front of his girlfriend and daughter. It was several hours before Juan found out he had been charged with the murder of a 16-year-old girl called Martha Puebla. It was a crime that carried the death penalty. Juan protested his innocence, and later realised he had been at the baseball game the night of her murder. Perhaps, he thought, he could prove his alibi if he had been caught on camera by that TV production.Eventually, Juan's lawyer Todd Melnik figured out that the show in question was Curb Your Enthusiasm, created by comedian Larry David. The network HBO finally let Todd view the tapes, which contained a direct shot of Juan. But the footage was filmed well before the murder was committed, so Todd had to keep searching for evidence to exonerate Juan. In the end, it was cell tower records that proved Juan could not have killed Martha Puebla.Since his case was dismissed, Juan has gone on to write a memoir called Played and Todd and Juan's relationship has also blossomed into a friendship. They have even attended Dodgers games together.Credits: Curb Your Enthusiasm/Whyaduck Productions in association with HBO Entertainment/Jeff Schaffer and Robert B.

In episode 2 of the Tim G miniseries, Tim dives into a raw and intense firsthand account of life inside one of Texas' most violent prison units. He breaks down what it was like arriving young, white, and unprotected in a heavily segregated environment where respect had to be earned fast. He talks about the politics between prison gangs, corrupt officers, contraband hustles, riots, extortion, violence, and the daily survival mindset required to make it through. From guards being flipped for drops, to inmates running serious money operations behind the walls, this conversation exposes how chaotic and dangerous Texas prison life could really get. Tim also reflects on how older inmates taught him discipline, street wisdom, and the importance of carrying himself with respect — lessons that shaped the way he moved both inside and after prison. A brutal, unfiltered look at prison politics, survival, and the hidden economy behind the walls. Topics covered: Texas prison violence, prison gangs, Bloods and Crips, Mexican Mafia, Texas Syndicate, contraband, corrupt guards, prison riots, extortion, survival, redemption, and life after incarceration.

The Supreme Court of the United States denied the state of Alabama’s request to execute 49-year-old Jeffrey Lee using nitrogen gas, agreeing with two lower courts that said it was cruel and unusual and therefore, unconstitutional. The late night decision, effectively halted Lee’s scheduled execution, but only temporarily. While Lee’s legal team declared it a victory, the state’s attorney general called it a miscarriage of justice and said Alabama is “prepared to do whatever is necessary to see Mr. Lee’s lawful sentence carried out.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Death row inmate Tony Carruthers was scheduled to die by lethal injection this morning in Tennessee. The execution was initially delayed as officials awaited the Supreme Court’s decision on an ACLU emergency filing asking for a stay of execution to test DNA from the case. Once SCOTUS denied the request, medical personnel spent an hour and a half looking for a suitable vein for a backup line and could not find one. Officials then called off the execution and as we recorded this episode, the Governor issued a reprieve for Carruthers for one year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Christa Pike's case is one of the most disturbing in modern true crime, an obsession-fueled spiral of manipulation and brutality that left even seasoned investigators shaken. At just 18, she became the youngest woman on death row in the United States, but the real horror lies in the twisted relationships and dark motives that led her there. Behind one shocking night of violence is a tangled web of jealousy, control, and escalating threats that no one stopped in time. What pushed things past the point of no return, and why did no one see the danger until it was far too late?RocketMoney - https://www.rocketmoney.com/lightsoutHungry Root - https://www.hungryroot.com/LIGHTSOUTMintMobile - https://www.mintmobile.com/LIGHTSOUTOmah Steaks - https://www.omahasteaks.com & Use Code: LIGHTSOUTQuince - https://www.Quince.com/LIGHTSOUTFollow & Subscribe To The Show!Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3SfSNbkVrfz3ceXmNr0lZ4Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/lights-out/id1505843600Social Links:TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@lightsoutcastTwitter: http://twitter.com/lightsoutcastInstagram: http://instagram.com/lightsoutcastSuggestions/Comments: lop@milehigher.comMerch: https://lightsoutcast.shop/Request A Topic Form: https://zfrmz.com/Sp6vsxGQrNoHUfDzvGnNPodcast sponsor inquiries: adops@audioboom.comHost: JoshTwitter: http://twitter.com/milehigherjoshInstagram: http://instagram.com/milehigherjoshCo-Host: IanInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ifarme/Editor/Producer: DanielInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/horrororeoSources: https://pastebin.com/e5QYQJX9Creator hosts a documentary series for educational purposes (EDSA).
